| Trisha had aspired to become a [[criminal psychologist]] initially, and resisted the thought of pursuing acting, as she wanted to complete her studies first. She also appeared in [[Falguni Pathak]]'s music video ''Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye'' as [[Ayesha Takia]]'s friend, which was directed by [[Radhika Rao]] and [[Vinay Sapru]]. She was later approached for an acting role in the Tamil film ''[[Lesa Lesa]]'' (2003) by Indian film director [[Priyadarshan]], which marked the beginning of her professional career as an actress.<ref name=trishaearlylife /> She followed a tight shooting schedule while in college, making it difficult for her to continue her education.<ref>{{cite news |title=Screen vs. studies |url=http://www.hindu.com/mp/2003/10/06/stories/2003100600020100.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031117103704/http://www.hindu.com/mp/2003/10/06/stories/2003100600020100.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 November 2003 |access-date=27 September 2011 |newspaper=[[The Hindu]] |date=6 October 2003 |location=Chennai, India}}</ref> However, she compensated by attending summer classes.<ref name=trishaearlylife />
